I like beef noodles, and I have used this place a few times. This visit is about two years since my last one, and I noticed that the menu and the content of the beef noodles have changed. The lunch menu offers four options: beef noodles (flat noodles) with mini fried rice, beef noodles (round noodles) with mini fried rice, beef noodles (round noodles) with rice, mapo tofu with rice and soup. I chose the set of beef noodles (flat noodles) with mini fried rice. After about 3 minutes, the mini fried rice was served first. It was an average portion, just a little more than a regular teacup. The ingredients were mixed vegetables, similar to authentic Chinese fried rice, and a bit oily, like Japanese fried rice. I think it was just the right amount for a set. It was simply delicious fried rice. After finishing the fried rice, the beef noodles arrived after a while. Previously, only round noodles were available, but flat noodles are definitely better! They are thicker and more satisfying than somen noodles. The beef was tender and had a strong beef flavor. The soup was light with a hint of coriander, making it suitable for Japanese taste. The price was 990 yen, which I think is quite cheap considering the rising prices. I am very satisfied.

Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a strong Chinese mainland scent. A shop offering Lanzhou noodles. Lanzhou beef noodles, flat noodles (880 yen) + boiled dumplings (390 yen). It was past lunchtime, so I thought about ordering from the regular menu. I came here because there were no other open shops after 3 pm, but also because I really like flat noodles. The Lanzhou noodles with beef bone soup allows you to choose between round noodles, triangular noodles, or flat noodles. They start making the noodles right there, so I knew the texture would be amazing, so I also added boiled dumplings. The beef bone soup was very clear and delicious. When mixed with chili oil, the taste changes, but even without chili oil, it was still very satisfying. Next time, I'll try it without chili oil. The flat noodles were indeed chewy. This place is definitely worth a visit. The lunch set is a good deal and has good cost performance. The boiled dumplings had a lot of vegetables and were also chewy. I thought it could have had more meat, but the rustic homemade boiled dumplings offer various textures to enjoy. Thank you for the meal.

Around 12:30 on a regular day. Chinese and Japanese customers. Ordered the half fried rice set for ¥990 for lunch. The fried rice appeared in about 2 minutes. It was fluffy with a good coating of oil. The taste was simple with just salt and pepper, but incredibly delicious. The portion was just right for those who want to enjoy a little bit of fried rice. The ramen was ordered with round noodles. The soup had a salty flavor with the fragrance of coriander and chili oil, giving it a light yet strong taste. The noodles were tightly packed with wheat, providing a firm texture. The portion of noodles felt generous, with a medium thickness that was satisfying. The toppings were beef, boiled egg, and daikon. All were simple with no standout features. The beef was tender and still had the flavor of the meat. Overcooked pork might lose its flavor, but it seems not to affect beef as much.

Triangle noodles for 880 yen, first glass of draft beer for 100 yen. It's part of the "passed by many times but never been inside" series. Every time I waited at the traffic light, I was curious about this restaurant. On this day, I was planning to go to the 100 yen store before work and have some udon, but then I remembered this place. The first glass of draft beer for 100 yen was a tempting offer, so I was completely lured in. As soon as I entered, there was a strong foreign vibe, but the master was extremely friendly. It was my first time trying the triangle noodles, and although I could taste the broth strongly, it was surprisingly light and delicious. I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I asked them to leave it out, but apparently it's supposed to be in there. The atmosphere was excellent, and it was a cozy place where you can relax. It's great to find a place with continuous operating hours. And the draft beer for 100 yen... amazing. In total, it was a divine meal.

I visited this restaurant as my second stop, located right near Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street in Senba-cho Station. The place caught my eye with its foreign local vibe. The interior was cozy and inviting. The menu was extensive, so it seems like a great place for any occasion. The food was delicious, with strong spices that go well with drinks.

Recently, I have been choosing Chinese food for lunch quite often. Today, I went out to Tenroku and found a Lanzhou beef noodle restaurant. I arrived at 12 o'clock and there was no wait. I ordered Set Meal 1, which includes beef noodles and fried rice for 990 yen. The fried rice was a bit flat, but okay. The beef noodles had chewy round noodles. The soup itself was light in flavor, but had a kick from the chili oil. There was also a decent amount of coriander. Both the staff and customers spoke Mandarin. Overall, it felt like Lanzhou. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I knew about this restaurant for a while, but I finally went with a friend this time. The inside of the restaurant had a nice aroma of Chinese spices, and I got permission from the owner to take a picture while they were stretching the noodles. We ordered the triangle noodles and dumplings from the menu. The triangle noodles had cilantro on top, but the aroma wasn't too strong, so it didn't bother me like it does in some ramen dishes. Overall, the soup and meat didn't have a strong flavor, and I enjoyed the texture of the rolled triangle noodles. As for the dumplings, the skin was chewy and the filling had a strong taste. I'm curious about the other menu items, so I definitely want to come back again.

I went to "Ippin-kyo Lanzhou Beef Noodle" in Temma for lunch. I had Lanzhou beef noodle with mini fried rice set for 990 yen, water dumplings for 390 yen, a draft beer for 100 yen, and a lime shochu highball for 350 yen. It was nice that the first drink was only 100 yen. Among the dishes, the water dumplings were delicious. The Lanzhou beef noodle had a nostalgic taste, and I also enjoyed the fried rice.

My husband suggested going to Tenma to eat sushi, but before that, I suddenly craved for dumplings and ended up here for lunch. They had a lunch menu available, so my husband ordered the fried chicken set meal and I ordered a side of dumplings. The dumplings were around 380 yen for 6 pieces, and the fried chicken set meal was around 650 yen. We also had a beer for just 100 yen for the first glass. The dumplings had a thick and chewy skin, but they were delicious, and the soup was light and tasty. Thank you for the meal.

Visit date and time: Saturday at 5:30 PM Waiting time: None Taste: The soup is lightly flavored with a bit of spiciness. The aroma of coriander is strong. The beef slices are on the smaller side but have a good taste. The noodles seem to be hand-made, with a good chewiness. Other: The first beer for only 100 yen is a great deal. Ordering a set meal with a drink is quite cost-effective, although ordering individual items can be a bit pricey.

The cost performance is good and it's always crowded whenever you go. Because of that, the service and ordering can be slow, so it's best to have some extra time when using this place. The taste is authentic and delicious, but slightly salty. The soup in the noodles felt a bit light. Both the fried dumplings and boiled dumplings were very delicious.

On Sunday at 18:30, I went to "Ippin-ya Lanzhou Beef Noodle" in Ogimachi. I didn't even know there was a restaurant at the entrance of the shopping street. As I entered the store, a unique Asian street food smell filled the air. I'm not a big fan of this smell, so I regretted entering a little bit. There were two other customers already there. I ordered the "Lanzhou Beef Noodle with triangular noodles (880 yen)". They started making the noodles right in front of me. It looked very authentic and made me curious and hungry. It arrived in 10 minutes. I took a bite. The beef bone soup was light and tasty. When mixed with the chili oil, it had a bit of spiciness and richness. The thick noodles were chewy. The dish also had beef, boiled egg, green onions, cilantro, and daikon, which added a unique touch. I forgot to mention that I didn't want cilantro... They also have other Chinese dishes on the menu, which I assume are more basic. Thank you for the meal.

I had a reason to go to Osaka after a long time, so I went to the Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street. As I walked through the shopping street, I noticed that quite a few shops had changed. When I came to the corner near my old workplace, I saw a new "Lanzhou Beef Noodle" shop. Since I often saw "Lanzhou Beef Noodle" in Singapore, I, a noodle lover, decided to try it. By the way, "Lanzhou" refers to the capital of Gansu Province, called "Lanzhou City". Most people probably don't know where Gansu Province is in China. I thought it was in the northwest, close to Mongolia, but it seems to be closer to the Western Regions. The specialty here is this "Lanzhou Beef Noodle". When you think of Chinese noodles, you might think of pork, but this noodle soup is made without any pork, using beef instead. It is a type of Halal cuisine. In other words, it is a cuisine of the Hui and Muslim (Islamic) people living in China, so it is more of a Western Regions culture. I was surprised to see such a shop. I couldn't help but go in. Inside the shop, there were about 10 seats at the counter and around five 4-seater tables in a long, narrow shop. I arrived at the shop just before 2pm, so there weren't many people. There was a group of four at a table and two people at the counter. Both staff members were Chinese. Listening to the conversation between the staff and customers, I realized I was the only Japanese person there. Looking at the menu, there are different types of noodles, giving an authentic feel. There are "round noodles", "triangular noodles", "square noodles", and "flat noodles". In Singapore, there are also "noodle slices" and "knife-cut noodles", but they seemed to be absent here. I ordered the "flat noodles", which are similar to Japan's "kishimen" noodles. It would have been nice to have a choice of soup and noodles as well. Looking at the menu, it seems they also serve alcohol, even though Halal cuisine is typically non-alcoholic...perhaps because it's Japan. After a while, the food arrived. It had a scent of coriander. The ingredients included beef, boiled egg, daikon radish, coriander, green onions, and chili oil. I first tried the soup, which had a delicious taste with a beef base and a slight spiciness. Then I tried the noodles. They were exactly like "kishimen", with a similar texture when eaten. It was different from Chinese noodles. It had a somewhat nostalgic taste. I finished it in no time, even drinking up the soup. Next time, I want to enjoy these noodles while drinking alcohol. I look forward to coming back.

I visited the Lanzhou Beef Noodle restaurant in Senmachi. I had been passing by this place many times and was intrigued by their handmade noodles and dim sum that seemed authentic, so I finally decided to try it out. During lunchtime, they offer beer for only 100 yen, so I had a glass. I ordered the lunch set with fried rice. The restaurant had a cozy family-run atmosphere, with a small child studying inside. The food was authentic Chinese cuisine, not the typical Japanese-style, which I personally enjoyed. For those who are not fond of ethnic flavors like cilantro, it might be a bit challenging. The noodles were especially delicious. I also ordered some pan-fried dumplings, which were large and satisfying. There are other menu items that caught my eye, so I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

Sometimes I crave Lanzhou noodles, so I use this place. When ordering a single dish, you can choose from different types of noodles like flat, round, or square. The square noodles feel more substantial and have a good chewy texture. All the noodles are springy. The lunch set comes with round noodles. The soup is the same for all types of noodles. Adding the provided vinegar makes it even more delicious. The owner kneads and stretches the noodles right in front of you, which is quite impressive.

I used it during my lunch break at work. I ordered the beef noodle lunch set (with rice) for 1,100 yen. First, the speed of service was very fast. And the amount of noodles was generous. Lastly, the taste was excellent with a light soup and flavorful condiments (like chili oil). This was actually my second time visiting. I remembered how delicious it was a few months ago and decided to go back. It's like authentic Chinese noodles, and personally, I like it more than ramen. Highly recommended!

As I was walking through Tenjinbashi shopping street, I suddenly caught a whiff of Asian spices. It was lunchtime and the restaurant was almost full. Intrigued, I decided to go in. It was my first time trying beef noodles, and I watched as the owner pounded and stretched the noodles right in front of me. It took about 15-20 minutes for the dish to be served. I was happy to see cilantro in it! The flavors were truly exotic and I was able to enjoy an Asian atmosphere in the restaurant. The spicy mapo tofu wasn't too spicy, in fact, it was on the sweeter side.

I came to Tenmachi around 10:30 on a holiday to use the discount ticket, but there are only a few shops with signs indicating that they accept it. I thought about looking for more, but it's hard to decide once you start searching, so I decided to go back. It seems like there are not many places serving lunch at this time. I've passed by here many times before, but I wonder what "Lanzhou beef noodles" are. It seems to be a substitute taste from Lanzhou, also known as "Chinese No. 1 Noodles," "Magic Noodles," and "Legendary Noodles." The soup is made by simmering beef, beef bones, and over 20 spices for more than 6 hours, which is said to be good for beauty and health. They cut the noodles on the spot according to the customer's request, which is interesting. Even though it's past 10:30, there are four customers here. I greeted them as I entered, but they didn't seem to notice at all. Well, let's sit at the counter in the back. Looking at the recommended menu, there are three items listed: 1. Youtiao + Soy Milk + Meat Bun for 690 yen 2. Lanzhou beef noodle soup with round noodles + Rice for 880 yen 3. Lanzhou beef noodle soup with round noodles + Fried Rice for 980 yen. The second one is a set of Lanzhou beef noodles, and the rice costs 200 yen, while the Chinese-style fried rice costs 580 yen. So, the third set seems like a good deal. The fried rice might be a bit less, but I don't mind. I'll go with this one. Excuse me, I'd like the third one, please. I haven't decided yet. Oh, they haven't decided yet. Well, I'll take this one then. It's not ready yet? Oh, it's ready. It's an ivory-colored soup and they've cut the fried bread into bite-sized pieces. Let's try the ivory-colored soup with a spoon. Hmm, it's soy milk. Seriously, it's soy milk. It's just warm soy milk with nothing else in it. How much was the soy milk again? 290 yen? The fried bread has a salty taste to it and it's delicious. I was eating with my hands, but wiping with a towel each time was a hassle, so I decided to use chopsticks. Seriously, it's soy milk, and there's a lot of it. It seems that the couple over there couldn't handle the spiciness of what they were eating. It looks delicious though. I wonder what it is. Let me ask. What is that thing on the menu? This one? Yes, that one. It's Tofu Flower for 490 yen. Oh, that's it. I should have gone with that. Was it okay that they left it uneaten then? I don't know. Well, I wanted to try the Lanzhou beef noodles for 490 yen, but I gave them a 500 yen discount ticket and they didn't give me any change. It's okay. Thank you. I'll look up Chinese breakfast on the way back. It was written on the previous sign as "Zao Can," but I don't know how to search for it. Let's try searching for Chinese breakfast. Early breakfast (Zaocan) is how it's pronounced in Chinese. Taiwanese breakfast comes up. Soy milk is a common drink. It's pronounced as "Doujiang" and has a gentle sweetness of brown sugar. That's why they asked if I wanted it sweet. Fried bread is also a common item. I see, it's good that I could try the representative items.

Located in the Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street just outside of Senba Station, this Chinese restaurant offers a unique dish called Lanzhou Beef Noodles, where you can choose from round noodles, flat noodles, or square noodles. The staff skillfully prepare the noodles in the back of the counter, almost like a performance. The beef ramen, with a refreshing touch of cilantro, surprisingly has a light taste but still delivers the rich flavor of the beef, complemented by a flavorful salty broth. The noodles are smooth and have a great texture, perfect for Japanese palates. The fried rice we ordered was fluffy and perfectly seasoned, making it hard to stop eating. Although we didn't try them this time, the menu also offers dumplings and other authentic Chinese dishes, making it a must-visit for future visits.

Located at the corner of the third block of Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street, is the Chinese noodle shop "Chuka Daiichi Men". I had always been curious about this place as I passed by it often. I had some errands to run in the area and decided to stop by for a meal. The shop seems to be run by a slim and stylish Chinese man. When I asked for a recommendation, he suggested the Lanzhou beef noodle for 880 yen. I placed my order and watched as he skillfully hand-pulled the noodles. Despite its fiery appearance, the dish wasn't actually very spicy. The hand-pulled noodles were round in shape, giving them a texture similar to thin udon noodles. The dish had a touch of Asian flavor with cilantro and other ingredients. (They can leave out the cilantro for those who don't like it.) It was delicious, and I would love to go back for another meal.
